Epic of Caterpillar

440 Side Chapter: Mohini's Recklessness

In the Divine Realm of Maeralya, there was a young Living Deity Cat Beastmen Woman. She once gave birth to the Sphinxes, a race of half centaur and half cat beastmen demi-humans with Morpheus.

After knowing the news about her children being rescued by Kireina, she was filled with joy, and wanted to meet them once again… but she was also aware of how irresponsible she had been as a mother.

"I cannot bring myself to meet them… not after everything I haven't done… Since when did I become such an irresponsible person? Sigh…"

She was Mohini, the Living Deity of Desert Cat Beastmen. Maeralya, her mother, had encouraged her to meet with the Sphinxes… but she seemed too afraid of their reactions, and ultimately decided to let things 'cool down' for some days.

Though through this, she was only escaping reality…

"Sigh… And things are even worst in the Moonfang Kingdom… my children are suffering so much… Mother, what should I do?" wondered Mohini.

Mohini was well aware of Geggoron, the Demon Demigod of Hateful Distrust and his plans to take over the Kingdom made out of her descendants.

Day after day, she was told to not interfere with mortals, even if they were her children… she had to wait for Kireina and her family to get ready to rescue them…

But each day she was growing more impatient. Mohini was an insecure woman, she was also running away from her children, the Sphinx, by not meeting them and apologizing, and she was now also running away from her true responsibilities again by letting her children in Moonfang be brainwashed and plotted against by Geggoron's pawns.

The Royal Family in Moonfang was concerned, some of their members had begun to act strange, and the King was not the same as before… A young Desert Cat Beastmen Prince, blessed by Mohini, was risking his life to resolve these issues, and perhaps come at peace once again with the Sunclaw Kingdom of Dog Beastmen.

However, he was but walking on Geggoron's schemes… and would soon fall over a trap and be brainwashed as well, becoming a zombie-like puppet.

"My child… I cannot bring myself to see you fall… I cannot, I just cannot… I'm sorry, mother, but I will descend…" muttered Mohini.

Perhaps because of a series of feelings inside of Mohini, she recklessly ran away from Maeralya's Divine Realm and descended to the Moonfang Kingdom to save her blessed child.

One could say that she was also running away from the responsibility and the fear of rejection that she had whenever she was to apologize to the Sphinxes for being an irresponsible mother that didn't take care of them properly… and by doing this reckless act, she was trying to amend her mistakes.

Some of her siblings noticed that Mohini was acting strange, but they were too late, she had already disappeared.

Geggoron felt the presence of Mohini descending to the Moonfang Kingdom outskirts and smiled.

"So, someone has descended? But its power… it's not so much… but it shall be a nice meal…"

Geggoron had already been expecting the foolish Beast Gods, who were often dominated by their mortal feelings, to recklessly descend to his domain, only to be eaten by him and his puppets.

Mohini disguised herself as a mortal by hiding her divine aura, and slowly moved through the villages, seeing her children, she could not help but bless them and help them out in their lives…

And the rumor about a miraculous Desert Cat Beastmen woman was quickly divulged around the Moonfang Kingdom's outskirts.

Maeralya was late to catch up on the news because she was too busy with Kireina and her family. But the moment she got to know about Mohini's reckless behavior, she wanted to slap her daughter and reprimand her for being so immature and foolish for a Living Deity.

She did not have any option than to ask Kireina to quickly go there and save her daughter…

"I can't believe it! That young lady! I am going to reprimand her real good!" said Maeralya.

"Wait, sister! You cannot go to the surface… and that bastard Geggoron, he has most likely planned for this to happen! If we all end up descending into his trap, we will all be devoured by that scheming fiend!" said Marnet.

"It's true… I should have… I should have been there for Mohini, this is my fault, not hers. We had been too distant since a few years ago… I have been a very immature Demigod… When she most needed my company, I was not there for her" muttered Morpheus, with a voice filled with melancholy.

"Brother…" muttered Marnet.

"Morpheus… no, I am responsible as well, I was a bad mother, after all, I cannot deny this truth. I will have to take responsibility for my foolish daughter… call Kireina-san. She wants a chunk of my divinity, right?" said Maeralya, filled with determination.

"Sister… you will give it to her in advance?" asked Marnet.

"Wait, Maeralya! Don't be reckless!" said Morpheus.

"Sister, there are other ways. I am sure that Kireina-san can understand you and go on her own accord!" said Levana.

"No, I don't want to be someone like this… Due to my mistakes, things will become worse and worse. What if Geggoron eats my daughter?! My precious Mohini… and then that bastard will obtain Life Attribute Divinity! How dangerous could he become then?! I won't doubt anymore… Ugh!" shouted Maeralya, expanding her soul and cutting a large chunk out of it. Then, she quickly made it into an Elixir.

"My siblings, please, call Agatheina, we must communicate this to the other Gods as fast as possible," she said.

"I suppose there isn't any other way for you. You're really the stubborn one in here, ya know?" said Marnet.

"Maeralya… I will also give up a part of my divinity…" muttered Morpheus.

"No, stop there, you idiot! If you cut another part, you might end up weakening too much! What if you fall into a slumber for hundreds of years?!" shouted Maeralya, stopping Morpheus.

"B-But…! If Mohini-san dies… I can't…" muttered Morpheus.

"Stop being such a baby, brother! The best way that you can amend your mistakes is by apologizing to Mohini when she is back safe and sound! Tell her how much you love her, and both of you apologize to your children for your irresponsibility, together!" shouted Levana, acting as the voice of reason for her bewildered siblings.

Morpheus and Maeralya stopped their bewilderment and calmed down.

"I suppose you're right, Levana-san… I apologize for my recklessness…" muttered Morpheus.

"I wasn't a good mother for my daughter, and I will take responsibility as well, let's work together," said Maeralya.

"Sigh… such recklessness and wild behaviors… Befitting of the young Demigods… It is clear how you two never grew in a dangerous environment… Fufufu" laughed the mischievous voice of a devilish lady.

Agatheina appeared behind the four Beast Demigods.

"Oh, grandmother!" said Levana, running towards Agatheina.

"Levana, I've already communicated with Kireina-sama, but I shouldn't be the one requesting her this, right? Maeralya, come here. And give me the elixir" said Agatheina.

"Yes…" muttered Maeralya.

"Wait! I cannot let my little sister do everything. Even if none of my children are walking around mortals. I have to take responsibility, my Kingdom was not raised properly, which let them be easily dominated by that scheming fiend… Here… Ugh…!" muttered Marnet, wanting to help Maeralya as he took out a piece of his divinity and created another Elixir as well.

"Two Elixirs… Such an offer will deeply interest Kireina-sama, well done. Although you two are reckless and foolish… you are also brave. I recognize that of you." Said Agatheina, taking out an artifact and calling to Kireina.

-----

[Day 236]

[Kireina] gained +48 Skill Points and Subclass Skill Points due to the prayers of your believers!] (Added!)

[Kireina] gained 84.879.960.320 EXP due to the prayers of your believers!]

[LEVEL 075/250] [EXP 290.256.412.500/515.000.000.000]

As I was having breakfast with my family, I was called by Agatheina through the artifact that she had given to me.

It seems that Maeralya's daughter, Mohini, the mother of the Desert Cat Beastmen, and Sphinxes have gone on her own towards the Moonfang Kingdom, trying to save her children from Geggoron's pawns and his schemes.

And Maeralya and Morpheus are very worried that she might get eaten by Geggoron.

"Kireina… I cannot afford to have my daughter be eaten by that fiend… Please! I will give you an Elixir made out of my Divinity… so please…" muttered Maeralya.

"I will also help her out, here, have mine as well," said Marnet.

"Kireina-sama… I do not want to force you to do anything if you do not desire to. But helping them right now could be greatly beneficial to earn their trust even more, and to also receive the instant reward of the Divine Elixirs" murmured Agatheina, only so I could hear her words.

Due to the birth of the seven harpy chicks, I was planning on staying at home some more… but I guess there is nothing wrong in helping an ally, even more, if I will get rewarded.

I was already going to help her and Marnet, so I do not feel particularly annoyed. And as for my children, I can now divide my body better, so I will leave one to take care of the harpy chicks, Belle, and Nirah, while also holding on to the child inside of my womb.

"Very well, and don't feel so afraid of me. We are allies now, aren't we?" I said.

"Ah! Kireina-sama, you're so benevolent!" said Agatheina.

"Thank you, thank you… I am sorry for giving you such a task when you're taking care of your children" muttered Maeralya.

"No worries, I can divide my body and share the same mind and soul, so it's like I will just send one of my bodies there, but I will remain here…" I said.

"What? Uh… I-I see…" muttered Maeralya.

I guess they do not understand my abilities as much.

"Thanks, Kireina. I hope you can help out my children as well" muttered Marnet.

"Yes, the problem is Geggoron messing with both Kingdoms, right? No problem, I will finish what I started with him and eat him whole this time. Your children are my children as well, as they will become my citizens very soon. And I am very responsible for my people." I said.

Just like the centaurs inside the dungeon, I will not forgive those that try to take my future citizens… the Giant Desert Snakes were massacred, and so will be Geggoron and all of his pawns.

Hopefully, they taste good.

"I will take a few hours in preparing everything. I will contact you all when things are done" I said.

"Very well then, Kireina-san, and thank you once again," said Maeralya.

"Yes, thanks a lot," said Marnet.

"Kireina-sama, please, save Mohini-san… I have a lot to apologize to her…" muttered Morpheus.

"Alright, Kireina-sama. If you have anything to ask us, just contact me again!" said Agatheina.

"Okay, okay. Morpheus, you are a well-trusted ally of mine, so do not worry. I will bring her safe and sound" I said.

"Ah… thank you, thank you…" murmured Morpheus. He is a very emotional man.

Sigh…

Young gods are really so emotional… and foolish.

If they really wanted their families to be safe, they should not have been so carefree…

Anyway, time to work.

I feel like I am slowly becoming a mercenary of the gods or something.

'Kireina, the God's Mercenary'… does not sound so bad.

Helping them will also be beneficial to me, they are important allies that can help me out whenever I clash against a large group of gods in the future.
